Chapter 132: The Twilight of the Scholar (1)

The timing of his order was not just the flank where he was, but based on the sound of cannons, and the entire line should be ready to move forward.

The commander general issued an order, and the flag was waving, and the trumpeter beside Liu Finger also sounded the trumpet sound of different lengths.

With the transmission of the horn sound, the Thirteenth Brigade in front began to move forward slowly.

The flute player at the front played military music that matched the rhythm of the stride, with his waist drums ringing and his footsteps in harmony.

At this time, the artillery before the Qi people camp had been destroyed or forced to be transferred and abandoned, and could not cause any interference to the actions of the infantry in the Yishi Division.

The nine Qi bronze cannons on the hillside can support the first camp, or bombard the distance of the farthest hundred steps in front of the camp.

The propulsion order issued by the six fingers cannot allow infantry to withstand the bombardment of artillery on the mountain.

But if the attack begins, it will be bombarded by Qi people's artillery.

The infantry followed the order and advanced fifty steps under the leadership of the gorgeously dressed officer, then stopped and reorganized the team.

The musketeer, sandwiched between the spearmen companies, emerged from the formation and continued to move forward, and the spearmen followed.

The light copper cannons of the brigade were no longer fired, but instead brought horses to cover them, packed up the powder barrels and the messy tools, and followed the infantry forward.

They had to unfold about two hundred steps away from the first camp of the Qi people, so that the Qi people's muskets, bows, and crossbows could not pose a threat to these artillery.

Moreover, the artillery deployed on the front line of the Qiren camp have been destroyed. These brigade-level light artillery can increase the hit rate at a distance of 200 steps, and there is no threat of Qiren artillery counterattack.

The twelve guns behind are longer, have a slightly larger diameter, and have a longer range, and need to be closer to the camp of Qiren to suppress the nine guns of Qiren on the hillside.

The Thirteenth Brigade, which had already begun to advance, was to protect the twelve cannons from being deployed.

Liu Finger's judgment is as follows: if the nine cannons on the hillside do not care about infantry but bombard the twelve cannons on their own, then the elite 13th Brigade can directly break through the camps of the Qi people and send engineers and warriors to raid the bronze cannons on the hillside.

If the nine cannons on the hillside are under pressure and can only bombard the 13th Brigade, then the 13th Brigade only needs to cross the most dangerous 100-step distance and maintain high morale. Once its own cannons are deployed and unfolded, the cannons of all the people on the hillside can only choose to slip away or be destroyed.

Therefore, from the beginning, he directly chose to attack first with the most elite brigade in the division.

Of course, there is no hurry yet.

On the front line, the infantry drum beats quickly three times, and the Yi Shi Brigade Company, which had been advancing like a forest of trees, immediately stopped and began to wait in the whole team.

The Qi army on the opposite side could not attack, so they could only watch the actions of the Yi Shi side nervously.

The brigade light cannon following behind was leisurely unfolding at the forefront of the charity division.

…………

Where is the commander of the Qi army?

Doctor Pingyin was holding a beautiful, exquisite brass-shelled Qianli Mirror in his hand, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

Qianlijing is now something that many military nobles would buy, and the price is naturally ridiculously expensive.

But it's like a comparison. If you don't have such a thing in your hand, you really can't show that you are a nobleman who can command the army.

However, the most abundant Yuying crystals in the world are Yuanhu, Tan and other places on the coast of the East China Sea. Where craftsmen could use locally produced crystals to grind expensive luxury goods such as crystal cups.

After the Battle of Hanshui, the Mo family captured King Yi of Yue, and during the final negotiation, they asked for some of the East China Sea crystal craftsmen in the palace of Yue State at that time.

In recent years, with the development of Sishang glass industry, various lenses have also begun to appear. The descendants of craftsmen who originally grinded crystals no longer grind the top aristocrats' burials, crystal cups or crystal sword hilts used in daily use, but have become the first generation of mirror grinding craftsmen.

Many nobles hated the Mo family very much, but they did not hate the things that appeared on the Si River. The Mo family was also happy to make money. Qianlijing was assigned to the brigade in the army of the righteous army, but it was an expensive luxury item outside the righteous army.

The Qianli Miles mirror in the hand of Doctor Pingyin always reminds him of the Mohist school's strange skills and tricks, and then he has to think of the artillery that can turn the situation around, and the Mohist school has the advantage in the end.

What he saw in his eyes was that the entire Yishi's front was slowly moving forward, and he stopped moving after knocking off the small bronze cannon that he had deployed at the forefront.

Through the lens, Doctor Pingyin noticed the dark copper cannons that were about to be unfolded in front of the infantry formation of the Yishi Division. The gloomy expression on his face was due to these artillery that were about to be unfolded and could bombard the camp but he could do nothing about it.

The generals and stewardesses around them also noticed this and showed worries on their faces.

Doctor Pingyin put down the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and sighed: "I am not as good as the Mo family's magical skills. Not only are there too many cannons, but how can Qi people get to Si Shang?"

This was not the time to express his feelings, but a counselor said, "Now the Mo family soldiers are in front but do not attack. This is obviously to launch artillery and bombard the camp."

"The public should know that if the Mo family cannons are bombarded together, we can only be beaten, and the soldiers will be depressed..."

Doctor Pingyin said helplessly: "How can I not know? Even the most warlike soldiers were the ones who were good at fighting. In the past, if there were no bows and arrows, the enemy would have been shooting continuously, so they could only rush out and fight in the rain of arrows."

"But now...how do I fight?"

"If the entire army moves, the formation will be in chaos. If the field battle changes, who can compete with the Mo family's Dazhishi and others? This is still possible, but if the army moves to fight with it, it may be defeated!"

It’s not that Doctor Pingyin is stupid, but that he has his previous experience in the battlefield, and there is no reference experience such as “seizing enemy artillery or inserting copper artillery doors with wedges”.

Even artillery has only appeared for more than ten or twenty years. What doctor Pingyin learned ten years ago was the "secrets of the nobles not being passed down by "how to raise soldiers", "car array impact", and "subordinated formation formation".

In the blink of an eye, these untold secrets have become like straw shoes, meaningless before muskets, artillery and rising infantry formations.

Now, he also knew that it would be impossible to allow the artillery bombardment of the Mohist righteous army, and that would be afraid that the morale of the army would soon be shaken. Once a general and the school could not stand up and took the initiative to attack, it might cause chaos in the entire formation. The Mohist side would definitely not miss such a fighter.

Doctor Pingyin watched for a long time, and looked worried and said, "I have seen what Dazhishi wants to do. Can you tell me?"

It seems to be very obvious now. If you can't see it anymore, it is really not enough to be a raised person who can be valued by the doctor of Yidu.

Several people said: "The Mohist family relies on field battles, only two points: cavalry and artillery."

"Now, Dazhishi is preparing to use their cannons to approach the camp and bombard the camp and our soldiers on the whole line, causing chaos in the soldiers. Then let their infantry attack and advance little by little."

"Boom first. If we form a dense array, the copper cannon will be extremely harmful and can also break open the gap in the dense array. If we form a loose array, it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Mo family infantry, and their cavalry is now behind the formation. Once the formation is loose and evacuated, the cavalry will not be able to stop the attack..."

Doctor Pingyin sighed and said, "This is exactly what I worry about. With such an attack, we will not suddenly collapse like the King of Yue. If the one in front cannot hold on, they will retreat. And there are Jishui and there are no ships behind us, so we can only fight to the death."

"But you have to know that maintaining the military formation requires enough square and radius. At the current speed of the Mohist school, although we can retreat, once the retreat is too thick and there is no space for square and radius, the military formation cannot be maintained at all, nor can it support it directly."

"It's not that he will win if we have to kill us to the last person. As long as we are squeezed out, we cannot open the army, maintain order, and reserve support for the battalion, then he will win."

Yishi said, "In this way, then the Mohist cannons are the key."

Doctor Pingyin also nodded and said, "That's right. Those cannons are the key. If there are no cannons, although the Mo family infantry can still fight..."

After saying that, he said unintentionally: "I regret it! I regret it! If the chariots do not form camps and attack with chariots, the bronze cannons of the Mo family will be useless!"

"Now the Mohist school has launched its formation, and the bronze cannons are divided evenly. If the chariots and soldiers rush, they will definitely break one place..."

His words seemed unintentional, but in fact they accused the soldier who gave him the advice to fight against the enemy.

Everyone around him looked at the schooner who had the idea of ​​making arrangements with his back, but the schooner was not ashamed. He held the fur hat he was wearing with his right hand on the hilt of the sword, stepped forward to Doctor Pingyin with a proud look on his face.

He looked directly at Doctor Pingyin and said disdainfully: "The two armies face each other and use their own methods. The method and the use of military formations lie in one's heart!"

"The chariot is wise. He was unfolding like this when he saw us being arranged by water. You don't use chariots as camps or carry them on the water. Do you think the chariot will still be posed in such a formation?"

"It's like a tiger chasing a rabbit. The rabbit ran into the cave, but the tiger regretted why it grew so big and couldn't get in? But it didn't think about it. If it weren't for it, why would the rabbit run away?"

"I only ask you, if it is the chariot soldiers you left behind, how much more do you need to expand this half-full moon formation so that the chariot soldiers can attack? If you expand further, the troops are weak. The chariot army only needs to concentrate the cannons at a point to easily break through."

"If you don't line up the array with your back, are you sure to defeat the Mohist charity master? Better than the right fit? Now you say such things, which is something I can't stand."
